On Wednesday, French police officers shot a knifeman who was attempting to attack them.
French newspapers added that the man was carrying sharp knives and tried to rush toward them without saying a word.
One of the police officers attempted to use a Taser to stop him, but it was ineffective.
The French police stated that another officer used his firearm, which led to the man being shot in the chest. He died despite the intervention of emergency services.
The Regional Security Department of Seine-Saint-Denis has been tasked with handling the investigation, along with the General Inspectorate of the National Police, as is customary when a police officer discharges their service weapon.
